Chest pain emergency: You should immediately be seen by a physician, best in an er. Certainly it could be due to the medicine, but what is life threatening is that you could be having a heart attack or angina. Stopping the patch may be advisable but only after conferring with your physician.

It is unusual: See a doctor quickly. An ER visit may also be appropriate.
